Actually that would be "elite cars" a 7 series BMW will cost you 80 grand, in 10 years its worth 10k. A honda accord will hold its value %-wise far better than the luxury car.

Rofl... You don't have to build a PC to have a good gaming computer...... even if you bought say a 500$ computer from walmart that has a quad core processor 8 gigs of ram..... all you have to do is buy a real power supply say a corsair 600 watt. That could handle a 560ti graphics card you would have a pretty decent system.....
Death is nothing, but to live defeated and inglorious is to die daily.

lol exactly.. With the Computer knowledge that I have, if I ever worked at a place like Best Buy. I would be sending them all off to places like Fry's Electornics or Newegg.
I would not sell a single pre-built system to a single person..

500 for the PC.. then about 80 bucks for the PSU (I would never buy a cheap PSU)
and about 300 bucks for the 560 TI...

All before taxes..

You are around 1000 bucks now..

for that amount you could build a MUCH stronger system

Then why are you paying $50+ to buy the game and $15/month to play it? Save the money and use it on rent, food and the other things.

Ray, you failed to deliver my possibility space.

I would probably quit day one after spending a few minutes talking to my co workers and realize that most of them dont know the difference between a coffee maker and a PC

Edit: Some one of you people don't seem to get what i am trying to say , i am talking about people who seemingly must have 10+ year old computers because because even computers 3-4 years old could run this game fine and ram is so extremely cheap nowdays my friend bought 16 gig of ram for 120 dollars , so buying 2-3 more gig isn't going to make you starve if you have the 59.99$ to buy this game and then 15$ sub i dont see how you don't seem to have the money to upgrade your computer out of the stone age
My computer isn't exactly stone age.. maybe early iron age. I upgrade it as I can, when I can. But I also have a Mortgage, Car payment, Homeowners, Car and Health insurance, Water, Electric and Gas, not to mention paying $4.50 a gallon for gas for the car each week ($35.00 to fill it up x 4 = $140.00 a month average), I have Cable, Internet and phone bills, food etc, all of which comes to more than $5500.00 a month. I also have a savings account that I put money back for a rainy day emergency as I am also a prudent person that believes firmly that the Gods play dice with mankind and we never know when we are going to get a snake eyes roll.

So with all my bills, and being in a single earner home, upgrading my computer when it works and accomplishes what I need it to do, is often last on the list of my priorities. I do upgrade when I can though but expenses and prudence come first.

^This. That graphics card is well over $300 alone. No laptop in that range with a crappy M series graphics card is going to play swtor on max well.

Also, the idea of max is flawed anyway. Sure on a low resolution old monitor a crappy computer might perform great. The average person with even an older computer has a decent monitor and will be running at a resolution that will bring out the crappiness in their computer.
